📢 Meet the POMA Board of Directors

📍 Mike Clingan has made a living in the outdoors space since 2018 as a photographer and more recently has added writing to his resume. Mike has an eye for perfection and does not settle for anything less, which is evident in his photography. Having cover photos for Wildfowl, GunDog and Game & Fish magazines, he has also had images published in Backcountry Journal, Bugle, Ducks Unlimited, Hook & Barrel, North American Elk and Turkey Call, Mike’s work is well known and diverse. He is currently working with Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks on several digital/print campaigns and specializes in capturing creative assets for brands in the outdoors industry. Mike lives the outdoors lifestyle in Montana where he captures most of his images. Waterfowl, turkeys, elk, mule deer and antelope are some of Mike’s favorite pursuits. He spends the rest of his time with his wife Alicia and their rockstar retriever, Crosby and the feral cat that came with their home that Mike has miraculously domesticated and is affectionately known as Miss Kitty.

📢 Meet the POMA Board of Directors

📍 Aaron Schmaus is a USAF Combat Veteran and the owner of a lightweight, outdoor gear company. He is also the host of The Primitive Republic Podcast. Aaron has degrees in science, art, and digital media with certificates in graphic design, digital design, web design, and documentary film from the University of Montana. He is the author of the book "Ten Rules for Finding a Good Hunting Partner". Aaron lives in Montana with his wife and two daughters. He thoroughly enjoys foraging, gardening, primitive skills and hunting. His life revolves around the outdoors!

💼 Aaron decided to serve on the POMA BOD because POMA has provided him with a springboard into his outdoor industry career and he would like to give back and help ensure its longevity.

💡 Fun Fact: Aaron applied for the TV show Alone for season 8. During a photo shoot as a model with Tony Bynum and Tom Opre, he received a call saying that he was being considered for the season. Obviously, he did not get on the show, but he is planning to apply again this year.

📢 Meet the POMA Board of Directors

📍 Justin Morrissey has worked with NSSF® for more than a decade and currently manages marketing and communications efforts related to NSSF programs, events, and resources. As a mentor, one of his passion programs at NSSF is the +ONE® mentor activation initiative. Justin spends time away from his desk enjoying the company of his wife Abby, daughter Hallie, and black lab Gomer, taking care of animals on his farm in Wisconsin, and managing wildlife habitat projects at his hunting property. Morrissey is a mentor, conservationist, aspiring homesteader, hockey fan, and traveler, among many other things.

💼 Justin decided to serve on the POMA BOD because POMA has been a major accelerator in his career, and he would like to help others find the same benefits he found in POMA. POMA should represent unmatched growth in learning, networking, and career opportunities. Justin is excited to work with the POMA team to leverage new technology and redefine industry best practices to ensure our members see POMA as a necessary ally throughout their career path.

💡 Fun Fact: Justin first started recording video when he was 12 years old on backyard hunts with his brother and one of his best friends who lived down the street. They used a Sony Handycam that recorded to DV tapes. Most recordings of their adventures were lost over time due to reusing tapes both on purpose and sometimes on accident. In high school Justin upgraded to a professional-quality Sony Z7U video camcorder by getting his parents to co-sign on a loan from a local bank.
